DEAR SIR:-I am hsppy to inform you that

One difficulty in the treatment of this dis.
ease has been the inability to apply the
remedies to the whole seat OF infiamm alton
another is the failure to use the right rem
edies.
Our treatment consists in using medi-
cines In the form of ointments which are
warmed and sprayed through the head and
throat, reaching. every part of the head this
spray can reach. The remedy remains in
the head for some time, passes readily into
vapor and reaches cells filed with mucus
impossible to be reached by Emedicine in
liquid or powdered form.
The treatment is pleasant and even child
rem will take it readily after the first time.

COMPOUND OXYGEN.


In the Circle of Sciences we read this SEN

Ever since the discovery of oxygen by

the mind medical, for, since respiration is
The process of administering oxygen to the
tissues OF the body through the agency OF
q blood (and in the lungs. p rifying the
life blood) the thought instinctively pops
into the mind that il, in cases Of disease or
imperfect OK sgenation, we could help the
lungs to more than their usual amount of
oxygen, we would be welding weapon of
vast remedial effectiveness.
Practical experience shows this the ory to
be correct. and never have we seen a case
of Asthma, Bronchitis, Consumption or
General Debility that the inhalatiODs, prop
erly administered, failed to relieve more or
less. 'Tis true that consumption in the
third ta,e can only be relieved ex ept in
rare instances. but our belief, founded
upon experience, is that every case can be
cured in the first stage, and The large ma
jority in the second stage, climatic iniu-
ences being favorable

AUGUSTA, Ga, Dec. 1.-SOme time
ago a movement was set OIL foot at
Macon to raise, by popular 'ubscrip-

was heartily approved by the press
and people, and babe fair to be great
success, but it has now fallen through.
The following letter from Mrs. Davis
brought about an abandonment of the
project. 1t is addressed to Col. w. ii.
Cross, Macon, g., chairman OF the
committee having the matter in hand.
"If anything cou d endear me TO
our friends in Macon it would be the

treat you TO let us thank you for the
efforts, but deprecate the accomplish
ment of it. Both my daughter and l
have received an education, which
would stand instead of money, were
anything to be swept away, which l
do not contemplate, and the blessings
of freedom and independence are dear

at Fort Worth lamp exploded in the
grocery store of Egleston Il Bro. on
Jones street and soon the building
was wrapt in flames, The fire spread
southwark and destroyed saloon and
residence, from this point a stiff south
ern breeze set in carrying the flames
up Jones street, destroying house, a
grocery store and..saloon. The flames
then spread up Fifteenth street and
consumed seyenty-feet-frOnt of build
ings, and leaping across to the north
side the Clark House went down in
ashes. From this point the fire spread
north and west, on the west destroy.
ing two-story business house and
two residences. On the north two
residences, one fine two-story struct.
ure, were destroyed after which the
wind changed to the southwest and
sent the flames leaping into row of
cottages fronting on Fourteenth
street. Here the fire subsidized for
want of material and firemcn began
to rearch the ruins for dis
coveries. Their work was re-
warded in the finding of the charred
remains of man on the site of the
boarding house destroyed early in the
fire. The party was an entire stran-
ger having engaged a room and occu-
pied it the night previous. The fire
department was prompt and rendered
all the assistance possible, but much
condemnation is uttered OF the careless
management CT the water works sys-
tenn. 1t is said that for an hour the
streams would not go over fifteen feet

lack of pressure caused from certain
valves in the water mains being left

ANNULLINa THE CONSTITUTION.

ANNULLING THE CONSTITUTlON.
Murat Halstead tie well-known edi-
tor of the Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette, writes an article for the Forum
this month under the title at of"The
Nullifiers of the Constitution" In
which he seeks to show by statistical
tables giving Democratic and Republic
can vote of the Southern States by con-
gressional districts in 1880 as compar-
ed with the vote of 1869 or 1870, that
the colored citizen has been practical
ly DISTINGUISHED, and that by that dis
reimbursement the XlVth amend
ment to the constitution has been
nullified, and should be so declared by
the supreme court. The amendment
referred to gives citizenship to the
colored citizen and provides that the
representation in congress- and the
vote for President and Vice President
should be based upon the population,
and provides that should any males
entitled to vote be deprived o. that
right by the people of any State at
any federal election, the representa-
ton of that State in congress and its
vote for President shall be proper
tionately reduced. Mr.. Hal,tead con-
tends that the negroes of the South
are, by force and intimidation pre-
vented from exercising their right OF
suffrage, and that thereby the XlVth
is nullified and made void,
and a test should be made before the
court.
The statistics given by Mr.. Halstead
show the Republican and Democratic
vote, and his argument based upon
the assumption that all the Republic
can ..votes were colored and all the
Democratic votes were white, is
very largely in error. Only few
and scalawag administra-
tions.. were necessary to convince
even a majority of the negroes that
the southern white men were their
best friends and the proper men to
govern the south; and after few
years many of the negroes were in
duced to vote with the Democrats;
then there was no opposition to Dem
ocratic nominees in many districts be-
cause there was no hope for the sue
cess of the opposition; hence a great
falling off III the votes of both parties,
and especially of the Republican party.
But Halstead's article shows the inter-
est of the Republican partizans in the
colored man. The XIVth amendment
was intended to strengthen the Re-
publican party and perpetuatc its
rule; and as soon as the colored In
nuence is diverted from that direction
hey would repeal and annull the
before the Democratic
make the supreme court
also Democratic.
